"PUT YOUR SHOES WAY UNDER THE BED AT NIGHT SO YOU CAN GET ON YOUR KNEES IN THE MORNING" – DENZEL WASHINGTON TELLS YOUNG ACTORS

June 6, 2014

Denzel Washington recently told a group of young actors that a good way to make sure you pray every morning is to put your shoes “way under the bed at night” so you “gotta get on your knees in the morning.”

The Academy Award-winning actor was seen speaking to the young people in a video R&B singer and actor Tyrese Gibson posted on Facebook Sunday. He encouraged the group of seemingly aspiring actors to use their talent for good and always remember to pray.

“I pray that you all put your shoes way under the bed at night so that you gotta get on your knees in the morning to find them. And while you’re down there, thank God for grace and mercy and understanding. We all fall short of the glory. We all got plenty,” he said.

“If you just start thinking of all the things you’ve got to say thank you for, that’s a day. That’s easily a day,” he added.
